about

HONEY WINE - Aidan Moodie

We’d like to thank Davie Donaldson and Conyach Advocacy for advising us so warmly on this song.

Conyach are an organisation that work for the recognition and protection of Scottish traveller people — an indigenous group know as the Nawken. Their roots go as far back as the 9th century, and yet, in modern times, these people are subject to horrific instances of casual and institutionalised prejudice; forced settlements, abduction of children, hate crime, abuse.

Conyach is an old Kant word which, loosely translated, means to speak with the voice of one’s ancestors. To become a voice for your own past.

lyrics

Made a stop on main street
Watch the horses graze
We’ll be ten towns gone by the end of day

Roamed the length of Scotland
Living where we sleep
Just your folks’ old trailer, and you and me.

We’re rolling
Rolling down the road

Worked a while as farmhands
Your family and I
It paid like shame but it felt like pride

Spent a week at John Boy’s
Horse tied to the gate
When the council called him traveller, they sent his kids away.

Cooking on cast-iron
Drinking honey wine
Swear the sweet sugar dulls the thought of crying

We’re rolling
Rolling down the road

Pitched up somewhere north-east
Said you couldn’t sleep
Kissing like your tongue’s a fire flitting through the trees

Sunrise seemed to ask me
Are you where you want to be?
Got me wondering thinking - can you ever be?

We’re rolling
Rolling down the road.
